It is a Tamron LD 200- 400mm

The lens that I need it for is a Tamron LD 200 - 400mm

No. I'm refering to a support ring for long lens.

Great shot! When you developed it, did you use sepia?

I'm looking for lens collar to fit a long lens. The lens itself is 77mm. And the collar that I am lookinfg for is something adjustable 75mm to 80mm. Anybody out there have something like that for sale?

I am the same age that you are. My princilal cameras are Canon 6D and 7D. Yes. they weigh a ton. But I can still manage them. One thing I've learned recently. When I'm out and about and I'm going to do a lot of shooting I take a monopod with me. Its collapsible, portable, and you have reasonable good control of your camera.

Rreading the responses to your post, you have been given some very good advise. And I'm going to put in my two-cents worth. 1.) After you have plotted out your itinerary check with the underwriter who takes care of your homeowner's insurance or auto insureance to see if your property is covered when traveling. 2.) Especially, if you're traveling domestically or abroad, Make sure that you have generic straps on your cameras. If the brand name of your cameras is embroided on your strap, i.e. Nikon or Canon, That is a baronial invitation for any thief to steal your stuff. In fact, do what I do. Use a shoulder sling. Have a good trip. enjoy yourselves.

I have that same problem too sometimes. When I was first learning how to do this, it was as though I was on a boat in rough sea. After a while I'd take my frames and tilt and crop them through PS. Now I set my camera AF Point Selection to Automatic Selection and center you subject within the dots on you view finder. And when you're ready to shoot Ancor your camera firmly on your face, nose and cheek. If a tripod or monopod is inconvenient this seems to work best for me.

GREAT SHOT!

I have bought many used lenses from KEH. And every time they were fully reconditioned and clean. And I'm still using them two to three years after I bought them.

People who are visible in the public eye have the same rights to privacy as any other American citizen, wheather their evedvours are in entertainment, politics, sports, or any other life situation thart puts them in the public eye. As far as I'm concerned, unless it's a crowd situation, unauthorized photos of any individual is a form of voyerism. and photographers who do this should be held legally responsible.

Our twenty-fifth wedding aniversary is coming up. And I was prepared to celebrate by taking my wife on a trip to California. But with gasoline costing over $4 a gallon in New Mexico where we live, and over $8 per gallon in California. That puts a damper on everything.

I've lived in the Phoenix area for eighteen years and I've never seen birds as pretty as that.

If you are taking expensive equipment, (and I presume that you will), and you have to check it in as baggage, make sure you have it insured. Also, it wouldn't be a bad idea to gat a Lo Jack device. I have a very good friend who works for a major airline. He told me that that it is not at all uncommon for a baggage handler to go through the luggage inside the galley and help himself the the valuables.

You did the right thing. If I had kids I would have done the same. That whole show was inappropiate for innocent eyes.
